Artist Opportunities
As part of your time with us, all artists will have access to the following opportunities:
Artist Development Workshops
Before & during the festival we’ll curate & deliver artist development workshops on producing, fundraising, budgeting, marketing, and tour booking to make your time with us, and beyond, as successful as possible. These will be delivered in person and hosted on our website for remote access too.
Networking Opportunities
We’ll create events to enable artists to meet other artists within the programme and arts industry professionals – particularly programmers. We’ll also create resources to enable & encourage artists to connect with each other.
Arts Industry
We’ll run arts industry services to encourage Arts Industry professionals to see shows within the festival programme and engage with our artists. We’ll also create networking events to allow Arts Industry Professionals & Artists to connect.

Artist Passes
All artists part of the VAULT Festival programme can get a digital Artist Pass which allows them to see shows for free – so long as they’re not sold out when doors close. That way you can support other artists all festival long without breaking the bank and absorb everyone else’s creativity and the festival atmosphere.
And of course, as you’re spending so much time down at VAULT Festival, you’re going to need to eat and drink – so each Artist pass comes with a 10% discount at the bar and on food, too.
